Why buy this 2018 £1 Great Britain Gold Sovereign Proof?

This Gold 2018 £1 Great Britain Sovereign Proof is the latest issue in a series with one of the richest histories of any coin on the planet. The series started in 1817 and ran until 1917, had a single issue in 1925, and was resumed in 1957, the run that continues to this day. The coin was struck from .9167 fine gold at the British Royal Mint. It is part of a maximum mintage of just 10,500 pieces.

Iconic St. George Design by Benedetto Pistrucci

On the obverse of this Sovereign is Jody Clark's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown. Her name and abbreviated title are inscribed along the rim.

The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci's historic St. George design. The muscular figure is dressed in military gear and slays a dragon with a spear from his horse. The dragon has been used as a symbol of the devil for centuries.

Impeccable PF70 UC FS

Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) certified this coin as an Ultra Cameo (UC) due to its sharp contrasts between frosted devices and mirrored fields and a First Strike (FS), which means that it was received for grading within 30 days of its initial Mint release. NGC also graded the coin Proof 70 (PF70), which means that it lacks even a single imperfection that is visible under 5x magnification.
